The "Problem" you describe is actually part of the Maildir standard -
the ":2," is added on line 192 of qmail-pop3d.c, after a POP3 QUIT, as
messages are moved from Maildir/new to Maildir/cur; the meaning of
":2," is detailed at,
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html
Importantly, however, this has no effect on the UIDL given by qmail-pop3d,
which deletes the trailing ":2," (it uses the rest of the message's filename
as the UIDL).
So to your original question - it's not clear from this what you mean by
"mail browser" - more details will help people on this list to understand
the issue, and increase the likelyhood of your getting a solution to
your problem.
cheers,
Andrew.

dear all,
i have faced a problem regarding retreival of mails from mail browsers..
....the problem is that the mails in my 'new' folder are automatically
transfered to 'cur' folder and the message id gets attached with ":2,". and it
gets appended again and again. the mails are readable using cat but not
downloadable from mail browsers......
the mails are maintained in linux system redhat 5.2......
i have totally no idea what could be wrong.....
your suggestions are highly appreciated.
thanks in advace
regards,
pratibha
